Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

That commit was part of the changes moving x86 to the generic CPU hotplug
interrupt migration code. The force flag was required on x86 before the
hierarchical irqdomain rework, but invoking set_affinity() with force=true
stayed and had no side effects.
At some point in the past, the force flag got repurposed to support the
exynos timer interrupt affinity setting to a not yet online CPU, so the
interrupt controller callback does not verify the supplied affinity mask
against cpu_online_mask.
Setting the flag in the CPU hotplug code causes the cpu online masking to
be blocked on these irq controllers and results in potentially affining an
interrupt to the CPU which is unplugged, i.e. instead of moving it away,
it's just reassigned to it.
As the force flags is not longer needed on x86, it's safe to revert that
patch so the ARM irqchips which use the force flag work again.
Add comments to that effect, so this won't happen again.
Note: The online mask handling should be done in the generic code and the
force flag and the masking in the irq chips removed all together, but
that's not a change possible for 4.13.

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"Three small fixes.
The transfer size fixes are actually correcting some performance drops
on the hpsa and smartpqi cards. The cards actually have an internal
cache for request speed up but bypass it for transfers > 1MB. Since
4.3 the efficiency of our merges has rendered the cache mostly unused,
so limit transfers to under 1MB to recover the cache boost"

Unregister the driver before removing multi-instance hotplug
callbacks. This order avoids the warning issued from
__cpuhp_remove_state_cpuslocked when the number of remaining
instances isn't yet zero.

Pull uuid fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
- add a missing "!" in the uuid tests

and its helpers

uuid: remove uuid_be
thunderbolt: use uuid_t instead of uuid_be
uuid: fix incorrect uuid_equal conversion in test_uuid_test
dxfer_len is an unsigned int and we always assign a value > 0 to it, so
it doesn't make any sense to check if it is < 0. We can't really check
dxferp as well as we have both NULL and not NULL cases in the possible
call paths.
So just return true for SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfer in
sg_is_valid_dxfer().

The smartpqi firmware will bypass the cache for any request larger than
1MB, so we should cap the request size to avoid any performance
degradation in kernels later than v4.3
This degradation is caused from d2be537c3ba3568acd79cd178327b842e60d035e,
which changed max_sectors_kb to 1280k, but the hardware is able to
work fine with it, so the true fix should be from smartpqi driver.

The way how default DMA pool is exposed has changed and now we need to
use dedicated interface to work with it. This patch makes alloc/release
operations to use such interface. Since, default DMA pool is not
handled by generic code anymore we have to implement our own mmap
operation.
